If you need to fit circlips then
you cannot do this successfully without a pair of circlip pliers. There are many different styles and shapes
available when it comes to circlip
pliersincluding both straight and bent versions in a variety of sizes.
An essential piece of any tool kit, the elongated points at the ends of the
pliers slot into the holes of the circlips to ensure that you are in complete
control of the circlip during fitting. Trying to fix these in place with any
other kind long nosed pliers will be time consuming, frustrating and more than
likely unsuccessful.

If you are homeowner there
will be times when you have to find professionals to come in and fix those
things that are outside of the remit of the average DIY-er. Roofing and
plumbing are just two and probably the biggest one is an electrician. No
amateur should ever mess with electrics without exception. Electricity is
dangerous and something that is not wired properly, or earthed, it can cause a
fire.
